CHAPTER

Honoring the Dead and Defining Boundaries

Exploring the annual tradition of cleaning tombs in the Valley of the Dead, this chapter emphasizes collective care and the importance of offerings for the deceased. Delving into concepts of choice and control, it draws parallels between decaying potatoes and human bodies while discussing protection methods like magical wards and infusing wax with burnt match heads. The conversation also touches on understanding fear, with a humorous anecdote about mistaking an emu for a monster serving as a reminder not to label the unknown as inherently negative.
